Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for encoding a television picture signal as defined in the preambles of claims 1 and 2.
  • the invention further relates to a method and apparatus for decoding an encoded television picture signal as defined in the preambles of claims 3 and 4.
  • HDTV high-definition television
  • MAC-system Multiplexed Analog Components
  • HD-MAC compatible high-definition system
  • a first aspect of the invention provides an encoding method as defined in claim 1.
  • a second aspect of the invention provides an encoding apparatus as defined in claim 2.
  • a third aspect of the invention provides a decoding apparatus as defined in claim 3.
  • a fourth aspect of the invention provides a decoding method as defined in claim 4.
  • the invention is inter alia based on the recognition that normally it is not necessary to provide in a chrominance part of a decoder for a picture signal channel having the medium picture signal refresh period and providing a medium resolution, since the eye is not very sensitive to shortcomings in chrominance resolution anyway. As a result of this, a costly chrominance motion vector compensated interpolation section can be avoided.
  • the picture signal originates from film, an optimum picture quality can be obtained by rendering that picture signal channel inoperative that has a picture signal refresh period less than a film frame period. In this situation, it is possible to provide for a simple medium resolution chrominance decoding, since a medium resolution film picture can be obtained by simply combining two received medium resolution fields belonging to the same film frame.
  • DSS denotes a, for example, digital signal source.
  • the picture signal source of Fig. 1 is suitable for use in a HD-MAC color television system, which is illustrated by means of a MAC-encoder circuit MAC ENC and by the designation 1250/50/2:1 at the signal source DSS.
  • the number 1250 indicates the number of television lines per picture period, wherein 50 single interlaced (2:1) fields form 25 pictures.
  • a television line period, not shown, is equal to 32 »s.
  • the signal source DSS would further be capable of producing a non-interlaced picture signal with which the designation 1250/50/1:1 is associated.
  • the picture signal source DSS supplies, for example, picture signals originating from a television camera or a telecine device with which original 24 Hz film pictures are converted into 25 Hz television pictures.
  • the original film frame period of 41.66 ms is substantially equal to the television picture period of 40 ms and is converted therein, which is indicated by means of a film-television picture period.
  • OT denotes an output of the picture signal source of Fig. 1 which via a picture signal transmission path, not further shown, is coupled to an input IT, shown in Fig. 2, of a high-definition picture display device according to the invention.
  • the connection OT-IT may include a picture signal storage device instead of a transmission channel.
  • the source DSS is followed by an encoder circuit according to the invention in which a processed luminance signal Y1 (13.5 MHz) and processed chrominance signals U1 and V1 (6.75 MHz) are applied to the encoder circuit MAC ENC.
  • data signals are applied to the circuit MAC ENC from an encoding circuit DATV ENC, wherein DATV stands for "Digitally Assisted TV", and an applied data signal and sound signal are denoted by DS, SS.

  • the known line shift is illustrated by a solid and a dotted line and an arrow.
  • the circuits SC1 and LS1 provide in known manner a frequency reduction by a factor of four.
  • the channel PC2 is structured in a similar manner with a low-pass filter LPF2, a sampling circuit SC2 and a line shift circuit LS2.
  • the picture signal channel PC3 includes a switching circuit SC4 to which a switching signal VS, occurring with a picture period, is applied, a low-pass filter LPF3 and a sampling circuit SC3 to which the sampling clock pulse signal CS is applied.
  • the switching signal VS provides that the Y0-signal is processed for one field period during each picture period.
  • the output of the low-pass filter LPF3 is coupled to an input of a motion estimator Mot Est.
  • the motion estimator Mot Est is shown as having three portions wherein 0->0.5, 0.5-> 12 and 12-> illustrate that motion signals S80, S40 and S20, respectively, are supplied as motion estimating results if a motion is detected which is less or greater than a threshold value of 0.5 or 12 picture elements per 40 ms picture period.
  • a dot-and-dash line indicates that in given circumstances, more specifically in a film mode, the motion estimator Mot Est is only operative with a threshold of 0.5 picture elements per picture period, so that also for motion exceeding 12 picture elements per picture period the motion signal S40 contains the information "motion".
  • the motion estimator Mot Est has an output which is coupled to the encoder circuit DATV ENC for the supply of motion vectors VR thereto, associated with the detection of the threshold values 0.5 or 12 picture elements per picture period being exceeded.

  • Picture signal refresh periods equal to 20, 40 and 80 ms, respectively, are denoted by 20, 40 and 80.
  • the terminals TO are coupled to inputs of the encoder circuit MAC ENC. In the described, known manner the signals Y1, U1 and V1 are obtained and are applied to the encoder circuit MAC ENC.
  • the switching circuit SC5 is present which is controlled from a manual or an automatic film mode circuit Film Mod Man or Aut, respectively, more specifically via a selector switch SW1.
  • the circuit Film Mod Aut is supplied with the luminance signal Y0, wherein it is detected that motion is only present per picture period.

  • the terminal TO of the selector switch SW1 is not only coupled to the switching circuit SC5 but also to the encoder circuit DATV ENC, the motion estimator Mot Est and the time-division multiplex circuits MUX2 and MUX3.
  • the film information FM is encoded in the circuit DATV ENC into, for example, one film mode information bit which occurs in the signal at the output OT.
  • the film information FM shifts the threshold value of 12 picture elements per picture period at the motion estimator Mot Est so that the information "motion" also occurs in the motion signal S40 at higher values.
  • the circuits MUX2 and MUX3 operate in different manners. If the film information FM is applied and the motion signal S20 is suppressed at the same time, the circuits MUX2 and MUX3 (and MUX1) operate with picture signal refresh periods equal to 80 and 40 ms. If no film information FM is applied but all three motion signals S80, S40 and S20 are applied to the circuits MUX2 and MUX3, these circuits only operate with picture signal refresh periods equal to 80 and 20 ms.
  • a luminance encoding circuit (PCY, MUX1) is operative with all three picture signal channels PC1, PC2 and PC3, while chrominance encoding circuits (PCU, MUX2) and (PCV, MUX3) operate with the shortest and longest picture signal refresh periods, respectively, of 20 ms and 80 ms, respectively.
  • chrominance encoding circuits (PCU, MUX2) and (PCV, MUX3)
  • the luminance encoding circuit (PCY, MUX1) and the chrominance encoder circuits (PCU, MUX2) and (PCV, MUX3) all three operate with the longest and the medium picture signal refresh periods of 80 and 40 ms, respectively,
